I don't know what the situation in Tonto is, but it sounds like there are 
already some volunteers in the area cleaning.  I do know that it is pretty 
much up to the district ranger as to what they allow in the forests.  I 
still think it would be a great idea to have a clean up.  Makes geocachers 
look good and might help the forest service understand the sport a little.

I do think that the problems with the FS down here in Pima county are 
something of the exception and not the rule.

Since they started charging for access to Mt. Lemmon they have also imposed 
the fee in Sabino Canyon and Madera Canyon.  There is also a lot of talk 
now about extending the fee to the ENTIRE Coronado National Forest.  Of 
course they can't setup toll booths like they have on the way to Mt. Lemmon 
but they will have it so that there would be a fine if you get caught 
parking without the pass.


In liberty,
